Apologies for the stupid and unnecessary censoring. I didn’t make this.

    I would argue the value distribution is not even tho. Im sure his iconic “motherfucker” and the movies in which he used it have contributed disproportionally more to this success. 🤓

      Your showing your confirmatuon bias. Marvel earnings weigh heavily in his total box office haul and he didnt swear in any of them. I think we’re gonna need more graphs, to really get to the true value of the motherfucker.

        Would he have been cast for his Marvel role if he never said “motherfucker” in previous iconic roles? It’s impossible to detangle the impact of motherfucker from his success. If we could quantify the value of every word prior to his first on-screen motherfucker, and compare with his post-motherfucker value-per-word that might help support the hypothesis that motherfuckers are worth more.

      NGL when I watched the Robocop remakes I was waiting for him to get mad and say it and I was disappointed every time his scenes ended until finally on the last one he did it, I was excited to say the least.

    156 movies!? That’s like 3 per year since the ‘70s! That motherfucker works hard.

        And you’re telling me that around 50.7 % of everything he said was the word “Motherfucker”? Somehow I can’t believe that.

          No, he didn’t say that amount per movie but in all of his movies, so it’s actually a very low percentage

            Ah, thanks. I missed a “per movie”.

    So you are telling me that if we combine every scene where he says motherfucker we have half a movie?

    I would watch him saying motherfucker for 2 hours straight.

    Why that successful li’l mtherfcker.

    In Canadian and European magazines, if they are quoting someone and they used the word “fuck,” then they just print it as “fuck.” But in the U.S. they still print it as “fck." Nobody would guess what word they really had said. Because in America we’re still too puritanical to accept that "fck” means “fuck.”

        I’m all for them! I just wish we could be adults in America and actually say, Cum semen and pussyhole (and fuck) without having to put these thingies *** in the middle. These thingies *** look like little assholes anyway. Won’t someone please think of the children, and just print fuck if you mean “fuck?”

    Aye, but that is only the best take. He has said many more words than that.

    James Lipton interviewed him once for Inside the Actors Studio. You’ll never guess what Jackson’s favorite curse word is.

    No worries mate, I don’t understand either why they don’t mention him by his full name, Samuel Leroy Jackson.
